DVSA are trialing new remote tachograph sensing equipment to help us pull data from vehicles fitted with smart tachographs, as they travel.
Examiners will be able to identify tachograph violations including whether:
- a tachograph card is inserted
- if a tachograph card has been tampered with
- if it is correctly calibrated when traveling alongside vehicles, or from the roadside.
While most of the commercial vehicle industry remains committed to safety and compliance DVSA is still identifying cases of serious and deliberate rule violations.
In 2021-22, DVSA issued 1,317 drivers’ hours prohibitions nationally for heavy goods vehicles, public service vehicles, and applicable light goods vehicles.
